This time we take a deep dive towards an incredibly controversial online figure known as Keffals, who organized one of the largest campaigns known as "#DropKiwiFarms" in the Summer of 2022. Today we investigate why nearly every claim she's made is disingenuous and why she remains the worst activist for the people she claims to represent. Thanks for watching!"

Fun fact: there is no way to subtlely cut coke with meth. Meth will burn the absolute shit out of your nostrils when snorted. It also does not wear off even nearly as fast as coke does. All of this on top of being significantly stronger than coke. Do not worry about how I know any of this. Point is, she was not doing meth on accident. If you confuse meth for coke for 8 days, you are actually too stupid to be doing drugs, which is an impressive feat, after falling through the “stupid enough to do drugs” ceiling.

This took guts. Respect.

[@Vidhur]

Let me guess, the rest at TYT didn't want to do this one, so the one person with integrity had to do it... Ana, leave these hacks, you'll be better off, trust me. It'll be just as much of an improvement for you as it was for Tucker Carlson. You'll probably get multiple times the views if you go to Twitter or start your own KZbin and do what you want to do, speak the honest truth you truly want to express...

[@facthunt2facthunt245]

Who on earth would bother to catalogue all of someone's wrong doings?

[@leftisbestpolitics]

Someone who aren’t a fan of scammers or maybe someone with too much time on their hands

GoFund me schemes aside, I'm no friend of Kiwifarms. They are full of snoops from the alt right. Getting rid of the website was still a good move because now they are all forced to go to kick or some other pay2play thing. It was still a good victory. Keffals got paid. I don't care, but Keffals will likely correct her behavior regardless.

[@jcsfanatic2235]

A left-leaning journalist taking responsibility and accountability? My opinion of you just changed. You just earned a viewer, Mrs. Kasparian. You showed more dignity than Ben Shapiro who was supposed to be a beacon for “freedom of speech” after firing Candace Owens.

[@grandadgator]

thank you for taking the time to do corrections like this. not many in alt/indie media/news don't feel the need to do it.

[@darkangel076]

Y'all know that, as journalists, you could've and should've done this research for yourselves back when all this was going down...right?

[@NairuOnLife]

I haven't watched the Muta video yet, but it appears a lot of the information used here were things stated or done after the first story ran like the constant changing of Clara's story or the use of the money in question. Feels like we're asking for an action using facts that came after the action. They truly say hindsight is 20/20, but yet... there is still do dilligence that appears to be missed before doing the first story. Trying to be as objective as I can looking at this, and I think with Clara playing so many bigger news companies, its safe to say her true intentions weren't fully visible yet.

[@alisinchains]

​@@NairuOnLifeKeffals was known to be a sketchy person even before then. It was difficult to criticize her without being called transphobic.

[@samdaniels2]

[@Nastassani]

Rightly so

[@coreynutter4835]

Shameful that she is just making things worse for other trans people who actually need help. She needs to be punished.

[@gregfenton7350]

Didn’t destiny point most of this out 1-2 years ago?

[@teresaroby4441]

I am pretty sure he did! For the last few years, Keffals knowingly benefited from how afraid so many people were about calling ANYONE out within the LGBTQ communities, no matter how provably problematic their behavior & actions were, because they didn't want to be labeled as homophobic/transphobic, etc. When you add her deranged/rabid/uneducated/immature fanbase into the mix & the type of retaliation she encouraged, i.e. doxing, it's not hard to understand why so many people chose to look the other way when it came to the antics of this habitual liar.

[@KennedyIvy]

Yeah, but destiny had really bad optics because he was acting unhinged. Right about everything tho

[@chrismilench3299]

Most of this information was available at the time that you showed your support.

[@DragScopeDevin]

CORRECTION: You did not report the story "unwittingly." You promoted the story uncritically. The real story was always out there, and as journalists, you should have investigated before buying fully into Keffals' account. Be better.

[@sharper68]

That is literally what they are owning here, most places do not even bother to retract mistakes. The first step to being better is to see a problem

[@sleeper_hit]

@@sharper68 will they do the same for every other story they end up getting wrong or resume their habit of just going radio silent on a topic once they're wrong about it, then moving on to another topic and never mentioning or engaging on the previous one again

[@sharper68]

@@sleeper_hit Maybe, I do not see them getting things any more wrong than any other media. Most reports get stories from a single source and often make the same mistakes. If they were getting things wrong that I cared about I might be more concerned, as it stands it seems you are far more freaked out about it than I am.

[@sleeper_hit]

@@sharper68 I'm just bothered that the rare time they aim for a PR good look is on a 'correction' to an irrelevant story, only because their name is tied to it and there are lawsuits that could resurface their old take on this. The obvious CYA shows there's no integrity here, just PR image moves. Their rhythm of going silent when they're wrong will resume.

[@pineappleenjoyer9297]

@@sharper68 Are you actually this retarded? They did ZERO prior investigation, this was all out on the internet but leftist retards never bother to actually check something. They should have NEVER made that story in the first place. Owning up to your failure is the BAAAAAARE minimum. And your blind support of this just proofs how braindead you are.

Thank you for correcting the record, Keffals is going to try to spin these videos as hit pieces and then cry about transphobia, but I'm glad the truth came out.

[@wastedproductions45]

Seeing most of the attacks against her are usually transphobic, she has a reason. Not like the left cares, they would be much happier with less Trans people in their audience anyway, it's no coincidence they are usually harsher on them than they are cis women.
